I am trying to organize my email accounts. So far I finished deleting unsolicited emails as well as forwarded messages in one account. Out of 3000 inbox messages, I still retained 500.

Why didn't I delete messages even those from 5years ago?

I didn't delete messages from my family, even if its just a grocery list. Everytime I read their messages again, it makes me remember that I'm part of a group -- a group that God has chosen for me to be in. That no matter how big or small my mistakes or their mistakes have been, we'll always support and respect each other.

I didn't delete messages from my friends, even short messages like "Don't forget, kita kits on friday sa McDo Glorietta". Everytime I read their messages again, it makes me remember that I'm part of a group -- a group that I've chosen to be in. Through thick and thin, they are always

there for me. Never judging me no matter how unbelievable my decisions are.

I didn't delete messages from acquaintances, because maybe 10 years from now I can apply their forwarded messages to my life.

It's not just my email messages. I am fond of keeping text messages as well as Christmas, Valentine, Invitation, even Report cards =)

oh, talking about cleaning up a mail box. im sur mine badly needs cleaning. my surprised when he saw how many unread messages i've got surmounting to 1000+. fact is, i dont really wanna just delete them, i need to go thorugh them one by one becoz some are really worthy reads, et business prevents me from doing so. ;) thanks for stopping by my blog.

Naku, I have the same issues with my 1,000 plus unread messages still in my Inbox. To organize my messages, I used a filtering command para lahat ng emails ko coming from my family and friends will automatically go to my folder for family/friends. Yung mga nice articles too, I keep them because I know someday, I will find a good use for them.

I am guilty of throwing out a lot of stuff. I don't really keep much of anything, but I'm also guilty of not reading half the emails I get because I have little patience for forwarded jokes and chain letters. But maybe I should rethink that strategy.

Stopping by from SITS. I have a few text messages saved on my phone that my boyfriend sent me. Ones that mean a lot to me. One of my favorites "I love you like bakon an' bizkuts" It's just too sweet not to keep!
